    Um, well, I think, actually I know It was when I moved in 1 yr ago!!

    We cook our roasts in bags or in the webber, so we don't have too much mess in the oven thank goodness! It's one heck of a job though isn't it?!

    Better yet how often SHOULD I do it? I have 3 monthly inspections so I do it then but realistically how often is ideal?

    Ummmm I am kinda ashamed to admit I use an oven cleaning company about once a year to clean mine......it's the one house luxury I have......and yep some call me lazy bones too

    I do give it a wipe over every now and then, but not a proper clean out

    now that I have one that "cleans itself" I do it every couple of months but prior to that I used to do it when we moved out of a place which was approximately ever 12/18 months but I also avoided cooking fatty things in it to minimise the need to clean it.

    I did mine a year ago. I was house-sitting at Mum's last October (09) and she asked if I could do her oven. So when I got home I did mine as well. That is the last time, and it desperately needs doing again

    Have only recently cleaned my oven...but that's only because there was something burnt on the bottom

    Think I'd rather buy a new oven!

    2 years ago by a professional cleaner, about to be done again by a professional cleaner before we move, but in saying that, the oven has been used about 10-20 times in that 2 year period.

    Err... You're supposed to clean it??



    I do the outside frequently but yeah the inside, well we put a new oven in just after we moved in, so about 18mths ago, and I've never cleaned the inside!!!
